The Industrial Strategy Commission is an independent, authoritative inquiry into the development of a new, long-term industrial strategy for the UK.

About

Nearly a decade after the global financial crisis, and in the wake of the Brexit vote, it is increasingly recognised by businesses and policymakers that the UK needs new economic thinking and practices to overcome stagnant productivity and regional economic disparities. A consensus is emerging for the first time in decades that industrial strategy has a central role to play in the UK economy. The Commission’s recommendations set out how that can be achieved.
